  • Tu est le meilleur! QUand tu est venu au collège tu était super !:D

  • @floculina would you give me his email?

  • :-)

  • Adama interpreta el Kamale N´Goni. Y por cierto muy agradablemente. Eduardo Heras desde Argentina.

  • This is not Donson'goni, this is Kamelen'goni. It is not a griot instrument like the Kora. It is not a small Kora. It is a Kamelen'goni.

  • the kind of ngoni seen most in west is the transverse frettable variety - looks like a little lute held at the chest

  • I feel that it is a dons o ngoni

    usually 8 or 10 or sometimes 12 strings.

    now made with guitar machine heads.

    notice how full and strong the sound is

    sometimes called a 'bass kora' it is related to the 'lute like ngoni' which is also used to accompany songs of tribal history.

    sometimes it called he 'hunter's harp'

    also a maker will fasten the 'poigne's' or hand rests to the neck. this adds strength so the strings can be thick and very tight

  • 24 but this one turn out to be a small Cora with 10 strings.

  • so how many strings does a kora have?

  • saaaaablo:

    it's a ng'oni, not a kora. the two are as similar as they are different. it's like the difference between a violin and a viola ;)
